DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Order No. 1566


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Louisiana Energy Services, 
L.P. (Gas Centrifuge Production Equipment), Lea County, NM

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
    Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ''...the 
establishment... of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the United 
States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for other 
purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant to 
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the City of Albuquerque Aviation Department, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 110, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone for the assembly and 
installation of gas centrifuge production equipment for the enrichment 
of uranium at the facility of Louisiana Energy Services, L.P., located 
in Lea County, New Mexico (FTZ Docket 18-2007, filed 4/20/07);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 21218-21219, 4/30/07); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the assembly and installation of gas 
centrifuge production equipment for the enrichment of uranium at the 
facility of Louisiana Energy Services, L.P., located in Lea County, New 
Mexico (Subzone 110B), as described in the application and Federal 
Register notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28.
    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of June 2008.

David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
